5. STORAGE TIPS
-
This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for wine preservation.
-
The Bolero GrandSommelier 4850 Black Compressor is designed to hold a maximum of
48 750-ml Bordeaux bottles, based on the bottle distribution shown in Figure 3. You can
store larger bottles. However, you must first ensure that they do not prevent the door from
closing properly.
-
Capacity will vary depending on how you store your bottles or their size.
Wines and suggested temperatures:
Red wine
Dry/white wine
Rose wine
Sparkling wine
NOTES:
-
These are approximate values, as temperature regulation for wine depends on many
factors. Always follow the indications of the manufacturer.
-
The recommended temperature for the wine cooler is 12 ºC.
-
Exposure to light, vibrations, or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause the
wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality, but many
improve in aroma, flavour, and complexity as they mature.
-
Wines kept at higher temperatures age faster. Wines exposed to temperatures above 18 °C
(64 °F) will lose flavour and aroma.
-
If the wine is kept at too low a temperature, it can lead to the appearance of damaging
deposits. A humidity of 60~70% is ideal to prevent corks from shrinking.
-
After opening a bottle of wine, the wine comes into contact with air. Therefore, it is best to
store the rest of the bottle in an upright position to minimise the surface area of the wine
that comes into contact with air.
-
Once opened, the wine will be drinkable for two days in the case of whites or three days
in the case of reds, provided that the bottle was resealed. Make sure the seal is tight by
checking the stopper.
-
In most wine shops you can buy special stoppers that keep sparkling wine and champagne
bubbly for a day or two after opening.
-
If stored correctly, white wines can last up to two years. Full-bodied reds age well for ten
years, and dessert wines last for up to twenty years.
